How do I find friends to visit in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
November 11, 2020 8:56 AM   Subscribe

None of my real-life friends play Animal Crossing: New Horizons. My spouse and I have tricked out our islands (her more than me) and we're looking to expand our, er, horizons.

I found a few Discord servers, and several web forums, even some paid community sites. But picking one just seems so random.

Any recommendations on getting started?

I think it's fun to find people in a community you're already in who have islands to visit, instead of Animal Crossing specific communities! So, erm, ask in Metafilter Chat?

People have posted in MetaTalk before to find other players (I think I posted in the Pokemon Go one) so you should definitely look there or post a thread if you're interested!

Best answer: I use the app AC Fan. It’s really fun, people will post what’s happening on their island (ie if any of the occasional characters are there, or if they’re giving things away, or if there’s a meteor shower etc) so you can go visit. It feels like the right size of group, active but not so huge and overwhelming that it’s not fun.

Best answer: This discord was started for metafilter users playing ACNH! Not as active as it was, but everyone is lovely.

There are a ton of Animal Crossing subreddits and if you posted this in one of them I bet you’d get plenty of invitations.

I'm still playing and would love to make friends! The discord isn't loading for me - is there an invite link?
